Tenure:Freehold

A tree lined with drive leads you to Blandings, which is a superb example of a converted barn and wainhouse. The well established garden provides many varieties of specimen tree, shrubs, plants and points of interest such as a green gazebo. A focal point is the water garden and pond attracting many species of wildlife. The property has been thoughtfully renovated to ensure the character of the surrounding area is maintained. Blandings provides 4 bedrooms, three bathrooms, a wonderful dining hall and large drawing room with French doors giving a splendid view over the grounds. The kitchen also has French doors leading onto a terrace with vine-covered pergola, an ideal spot for al fresco dining and entertaining. The flagstone terrace is set in a walled garden with shrubberies and potager. Steps lead down to Pond Cottage, a detached two bedroom dower house presently providing the owners with an income as a holiday cottage. As the name indicates it is situated overlooking the pond with the well maintained grounds providing a tranquil setting. Ideal accommodation for extended family or for visiting relatives or friends. Horringford is a rural hamlet at the south end of Arreton, a village located midway between the county town of Newport and the seaside town of Shanklin.
